Good day all, I hope someone can help me with a consistent BSOD problem I've had today.

Every time my Steam client starts up and attempts to download its latest update, I get a BSOD with a Bad Pool Caller (one time out of about a dozen crashes it was Bad Pool Header instead). I have tried the Steam support, but their guides are focused on the program crashing, not the whole computer and I have had no luck fixing it there.

I downloaded DM Log Collector and attached my report, but I want to point out now that Windows has not produced dmp files for any of these crashes, even though the correct options are checked in the "Startup and Recovery" settings.

Quote:
Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.Double-click System.Click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings under Startup and Recovery.Check Write an even to the system log, and Automatically restart.In the Write debugging information list, click Small memory dump (256k).Location of Dumps:
C:\Windows\minidump

Hello i would like to know why im crashing so often, literally i crash 4 or 5 times daily at random times, and i keep getting those BSOD's, but all this started when i updated to Win10 (I knew that updating at day 0 was a bad idea z.z )

I will leave the minidumps attached so you can analyze and hopefully tell me what is failing, but i already suspect a driver failing because no win10 support.

A:Getting lots of "Bad Pool Caller" and "Bad Pool Header" since i updated to Win10

Please provide this information so we can provide a complete analysis (from the Pinned Topic at the top of the forum): http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/576314/blue-screen-of-death-bsod-posting-instructions-windows-10-81-8-7-vista/Here's what I got from the minidumps, there may be more info in the other reports that I requested in the above paragraph. From the minidumps, try uninstalling MalwareBytes. It's mwac.sys driver appears to be the culprit in the memory dumps. Also, Daemon Tools (and Alcohol % software) are known to cause BSOD's on some Windows systems (mostly due to the sptd.sys driver, although I have seen both dtsoftbus01.sys and dtscsibus.sys blamed on several occasions).Please un-install the program, then use the following free tool to ensure that the troublesome sptd.sys driver is removed from your system (pick the 32 or 64 bit system depending on your system's configuration): New link (15 Aug 2012): http://www.duplexsecure.com/downloads (pick the appropriate version for your system and select "Un-install" when you run it).Alternate link: http://www.disc-tools.com/download/sptdManual procedure here: http://daemonpro-help.com/en/problems_and_solutions/registry_and_sptd_problems.htmlAnalysis:The following is for informational purposes only.[font=lucida console]**************************Mon Aug 3 01:43:40.404 2015 (UTC - 4:00)**************************Loading Dump File [C:\Users\John\SysnativeBSODApps\080315-17531-01.dmp]Windows 8 Kernel Version 10240 MP (2 procs) Free x86 compatibleBuilt by: [B]1024[/B]0.16393.x86fre.th1_st1.150717-1719System Uptime:[B]0 days 0:25:47.221[/B]*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for mwac.sys*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for mwac.sysProbably caused by :[B]NETIO.SYS ( NETIO! ?? ::FNODOBFM::`string'+cf7 )[/B]BugCheck [B]C2, {7, 1254, 0, 90f92eec}[/B]BugCheck Info: [url=http://www.carrona.org/bsodindx.html#0x000000C2]BAD_POOL_CALLER (c2)[/url]Arguments:Arg1: 00000007, Attempt to free pool which was already freedArg2: 00001254, (reserved)Arg3: 00000000, Memory contents of the pool blockArg4: 90f92eec, Address of the block of pool being deallocatedBUGCHECK_STR: 0xc2_7PROCESS_NAME: mbamservice.exFAILURE_BUCKET_ID: [B]0xc2_7_NETIO!_??_::FNODOBFM::_string_[/B] BIOS Version 080015 BIOS Release Date 04/30/2010 Manufacturer langchao Product Name 12345 Baseboard Product IPM41-D3¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨``**************************Mon Aug 3 01:17:25.251 2015 (UTC - 4:00)**************************Loading Dump File [C:\Users\John\SysnativeBSODApps\080315-18171-01.dmp]Windows 8 Kernel Version 10240 MP (2 procs) Free x86 compatibleBuilt by: [B]1024[/B]0.16393.x86fre.th1_st1.150717-1719System Uptime:[B]0 days 1:39:32.068[/B]*** WARNING: Unable to verify ti...

Hi, I have the Bad Pool Caller BSOD when I turn on my web browser or at other random moments. This happens ONLY when I have wifi ON. With wifi off the computer works fine. Recently I installed Comodo Internet Security but it didnt show up in installed programs so I used the uninstall app delivered with it. Later I installed Kaspersky. Then the problems begun. I cant use internet but the Metro Mail app works (others like News dont connect to the net).I checked this thread:bad_pool_callerI cant open my minidump file so Im posting it here.I dont have any programs listed in this topic.Please help me solve this problem.

A:BSOD - Bad Pool Caller/Header

Welcome to EightForums.

The BSOD seems to be caused by Kaspersky KNEPS Power driver I would uninstall Kaspersky and use the default antivirus app on Win 8 and see if it stops the BSOD problem.

BAD_POOL_CALLER (c2)
The current thread is making a bad pool request. Typically this is at a bad IRQL level or double freeing the same allocation, etc.

Over the past few days i've been getting completely random BAD_POOL_HEADER and BAD_POOL_CALLER BSOD screens. Today it has been so frequently that it's at the point where it crashes several times an hour.

I've tried system restoring to point a few days before the crashing started but it didn't help. I'm running in Safe Mode at the moment and it hasn't happened yet.

I am running windows 8.1 64 bit version. Recently I have been getting both of these bad pool blue screens. I believe that they started happening after I installed drivers for a USB to headphone jack adapter. They seem to happen usually after loading a YouTube
video or when playing any games, which is why I thought that this adapter is the culprit, but the most recent one happened after clicking on a normal link with my headphones and adapter unplugged from the laptop so I'm stumped.
Here are the minidump files:

I had a BSOD on windows 10 with the message: for more info look online for: BAD POOL CALLER
There was no value.
I have the impression the BSOD is caused by an original windows 7 desktop application (GNS3.exe) which hanged (not responding) when I loaded a project. I closed the application.
I've attached a crash dump file.
Can you say me what's the real cause of the crash?

Hi,I have a Dell Latitude E6510, about a year old, which has been crashing randomly and and with increasing frequency. Each time, I get a "bad pool caller" BSOD. I recently ran Glary Utilities registry cleaner, but this did not solve the problem. This problem did not appear to begin with the installation of any particular program, nor does it occur exclusively with one program; it's pretty random. Any help would be appreciated... I tried to attach a zipped Minidump, but when I select the files in the Minidump folder and try to send them to a zipped folder, I get an error message which says "File not found or no read permission"

A:BSOD - Bad Pool Caller

I recently ran Glary Utilities registry cleanerNot a good idea...Registry cleaners/optimizers are not recommended for several reasons: Registry cleaners are extremely powerful applications that can damage the registry by using aggressive cleaning routines and cause your computer to become unbootable.

The Windows registry is a central repository (database) for storing configuration data, user settings and machine-dependent settings, and options for the operating system. It contains information and settings for all hardware, software, users, and preferences. Whenever a user makes changes to settings, file associations, system policies, or installed software, the changes are reflected and stored in this repository. The registry is a crucial component because it is where Windows "remembers" all this information, how it works together, how Windows boots the system and what files it uses when it does. The registry is also a vulnerable subsystem, in that relatively small changes done incorrectly can render the system inoperable. For a more detailed explanation, read Understanding The Registry. Not all registry cleaners are created equal. There are a number of them available but they do not all work entirely the same way. Each vendor uses different criteria as to what constitutes a "bad entry". One cleaner may find entries on your system that will not cause problems when removed, another may not find the same entries, and still another may want to remove entries required for a program to work. Not all registry cleaners create a backup of the registry before making changes. If the changes prevent the system from booting up, then there is no backup available to restore it in order to regain functionality. A backup of the registry is essential BEFORE making any changes to the registry. Improperly removing registry entries can hamper malware disinfection and make the removal process more difficult if your computer becomes infected. For example, removing malware related registry entries before the infection is properly identified can contribute to system instability and even make the malware undetectable to removal tools. The usefulness of cleaning the registry is highly overrated and can be dangerous. In most cases, using a cleaner to remove obsolete, invalid, and erroneous entries does not affect system performance but it can result in "unpredictable results".Unless you have a particular problem that requires a registry edit to correct it, I would suggest you leave the registry alone. Using registry cleaning tools unnecessarily or incorrectly could lead to disastrous effects on your operating system such as preventing it from ever starting again. For routine use, the benefits to your computer are negligible while the potential risks are great.Ed Bott's Webog: Why I don't use registry cleanersDo I need a Registry Cleaner?===========================================================Download BlueScreenView (in Zip file)No installation required.Unzip downloaded file and double click on BlueScreenView.exe file to run the program.When scanning is done, go Edit>Select All.Go File>Save Selected Items, and save the report as BSOD.txt.Open BSOD.txt in Notepad, copy all content, and paste it into your next reply.

Recently built a computer. I was just watching a video and I got my first ever BSOD with the error 'Bad Pool Caller'. I've rebooted OK however it would appear the computer is notably slower at the moment. I've googled around and I can see theres various causes for this error so any help would be appreciated on the matter.

Obviously this has only happened once but its an issue I would like to address to set my mind at rest. I've uploaded a dmp file for the crash and it has been attached.

As I said previously, any help much appreciated!

Welcome to the forum. Sorry to learn you are having a problem. I could not get a complete analyis; the symbols would not load. Either your dump file is corrupt or you are running SP1 Beta for which there are currently no symbols.

My laptop encountered a BSOD just now, with an error message BAD_POOL_CALLER. Doesn't know what it means, need help.

That time I was playing Left 4 Dead 2 with my friends through LAN, my friend (the game host) dc-ed for a while so it affects the three of us. But then he reconnects back so my other friends just reconnect into the game also. Not for my laptop though, my game is not responding and I cannot reconnect back into the game, it freezes. So I hit Ctrl+Alt+Del and I click the Sign out button. My laptop restarted and I log in back. After logging in and going to the desktop, my pc hangs and the BSOD occurs. It restarts again and back to normal. But what could have make that BSOD occurs in the first place?

Hey,

Update ASUS AI USB Charger and ATK package, both in Downloads/Utilities section, even if Windows 7 is the latest.

I have a Gigabyte P43 MB. I cannot successfully install W7 or WinXP.It has been giving me different BSODs and getting to different parts of the install before it BSODs.I returned it to Gigabyte and they say they could find no problem.Now I get the same thing except it only gets to load files and never gets into startup.I get 0A, 24, 19, C2 BSODsI have the MB sitting on my bench now, but when I first fully installed it into a case it did the same thing.

I have tried this with 2 CPUs, 2 Graphic cards, 2 PSUs, 2 HDDs, and memory right out of my P35 MB. All of the components run fine on the P35 MB.

I can boot to Hiren's disc, I can run memory test, I can find no problems - but I can't Install OS.

what to do???

A:Bad Pool Caller BSOD

What is the source of the windows disc that you are trying to install? Can you have am alternative DVD/ ISO? How old the motherboard and the BIOS version is?

Also, you may try to install Ubuntu, just to make it sure that it is not a hardware problem. Though usually a Bad Pool Caller is not a hardware issue, it is related with driver/ software.

Hi,I recently bought a new video card for my computer because my old one died. I removed the old driver, then restarted and got a BSoD before completing the startup. I'm able to boot in Safe Mode, but I can't get an internet connection (don't know why) and it's required to install the new card's driver. Is the driver the issue or something else? Here's the error message:BAD_POOL_CALLER_ STOP: 0x000000C2 (0x00000007, 0x0000113D, 0x 0000006C, 0x985591D8)I'm running Vista Home 32bit by the way. Thanks.

Well first things first. The reason you can't connect to the internet in safe mode is because safe mode has no networking capabilities.

Secondly. Before you pulled the old video card out, did you uninstall its driver > power down the machine > pull the video card off the mother board > install the new video card > boot into safe mode and install the driver?

A:I keep on getting BSOD and bad pool caller. Help!

to the forum mate.

Please follow the below steps.

Upload the actual crash dump files.

You will find the crash dump files inside C:\Windows\Minidump folder. To copy the dumps, disable "User Account Control" first. Otherwise you may receive a permission error. After disabling UAC, copy and zip all the dumps using 7-zip ( http://www.7-zip.org ). Either attach the zip with next reply using "More reply options --> Attach files" or use a free file hosting site.

For example -> http://www.mediafire.com/

Publish a snapshot of your system using Speccy.

"Speccy" is a free tool which can list the hardware specs, temperature status, installed Windows updates, HDD SMART info etc of your system. Please read the below tutorial to know how to use "Speccy" to collect system info.

I've had my Windows 7 laptop for about 2 years, but it was second hand. The first thing I did with it was reformat it, and all the while it's had an annoying tendancy to suddenly BSOD with a BAD_POOL_CALLER error. It would do this seemingly randomly, though certain things are much more likely to trigger it - certain webpages (which change, confusingly), such as Facebook, Cracked, and some others. uTorrent almost always triggers it.

I've heard it was CPU drivers, networking drivers, and so on, but updating them never helped much. Can you guys offer any advice?

This is my first BOSD.I did a full system scan with Avast 6 free latest version,at 6pm left it running and went out came back at 9pm put monitor on and there it was BSOD saying bad pool caller.I noticed my pc tower was quite hot,so i restarted the pc and everything seems to be working fine,but i'm just worried it's gonna happen again.I'm a bit of a newbie.My os is Windows7 32bit home premium premium/4gb ram/amd athlon 64fx-60 dual core/ati radeon hd 4600.This is the minidump 144819

Essentially the system seems to randomly shut down after an undeterminable period of time and presents a BSOD with BAD_POOL_CALLER. The code is '0x000000c2 (0x00000040, 0x00000000, 0x80000000, 0x00000000)'

A:BSoD - bad pool caller

Start backing up you files, clone the drive if possible, and check to see if your hard drive is under warranty. If so, contact them for an RMA so you can replace the drive, because it is almost certainly going to fail very soon.Edit: To clarify- BAD_POOL_CALLER means your computer is trying to protect itself from data loss, and given that you have all of those disk errors in the event viewer (from your screenshot), I'd say that's probably why. It could also be a controller failure or just a bad SATA cable, too, but I'd still get a good backup and run diagnostics on the drive.

ive been getting these bad pool caller messages. it seems to happen when i open any torrent application (utorrent or bittorent). i put a link to the dump files below. i hope i did it correctly. please reply asap, thank youlink :1drv.ms/1EqaHPJ

A:BSOD and bad pool caller.. help!

Welcome,Both of those sites are known to be infected and prone to downloading malware along with other data. I recommend deleting both, rebooting then running a full scan with your installed and current security program. If you are still having problems it will be time to move to the Am I infected forum for expert assistance.Keep us posted

I've been having too many problems with this error, sometimes numerous occurrences in a row. It seems to happen mostly when I'm using the internet and most often when trying to start up an online game. I've cleaned out my temp internet files, done a chkdsk and defrag on my hard drive.

I've attached the last collection of dump files for someone to check out and hopefully figure out what is causing this problem.

Thanks for any help with this.

AnneP.S. Just installed and updated my java version to see if that makes any difference.

Hey guys ive been having this bsod problem for a while now sometimes it can be infrequent and other times it can crash pool Bsod bad caller after every reboot i think it may have something to do with windows live messenger because after opening messenger it crashes but i had expierienced bsod problems before there was any problem with windows live I have and Advent Roma recently bought only a couple of months old it has a T Celeron Processor When purchased it had Windows Home premium on it and since then i have formatted it and re installed Windows Ultimate I understand this could be a driver issue but i doubt it because i have installed new audio and visual drivers but i am geting Driverpack solutions I am attaching the minidump file for all who may wish to take a look at it Btw the error message shown when it crashes is Bad pool caller It would be greatly apreciated if someone could help me thankyou

Hello everybody! I have a small problem, well i think it?s a small one. My computer sometimes crashes, I will atach the dump file. Otherwise, it runs perfectly, except few crashes in almost 10 months. It used to happen every three or four months one crash, and it didn?t bother me that much, but now I had three crashes in just few days, all reporting the same error (subject). I tried to google it, but didn?t find anything specific. Last thing I installed was MS Visual C++ 2010 Express, and I noticed that Ad Aware (free edition) takes unusual long time to update and long time while performing scans.
Can anybody please help me, and direct me to the driver or program that is causing this?
Thank you in advance!

Take memtest. Run for 8 passes and test each stick in a know good slot for an additional 6 passes.
RAM - Test with Memtest86+

Quote:
The goal is to test all the RAM sticks and all the motherboard slots.

Check your motherboard manual to ensure the RAM sticks are in the recommended motherboard slots. Some motherboards have very specific slots required for the number of RAM sticks installed.

If you get errors, stop the test and continue with the next step.

1. Remove all but one stick of RAM from your computer (this will be RAM stick #1), and run Memtest86 again, for 7 passes. *Be sure to note the RAM stick, use a piece of tape with a number, and note the motherboard slot.
If this stick passes the test then go to step #3.

2. If RAM stick #1 has errors, repeat the test with RAM stick #2 in the same motherboard slot. *If RAM stick #2 passes, this indicates that RAM stick #1 may be bad. If you want to be absolutely sure, re-test RAM stick #1 in another known good slot.
*If RAM stick #2 has errors, this indicates another possible bad RAM stick, a possible motherboard slot failure or inadequate settings.
3. Test the next stick of RAM (stick #2) in the next motherboard slot. *If this RAM stick has errors repeat step #2 using a known good stick if possible, or another stick.
*If this RAM stick has no errors and both sticks failed in slot#1, test RAM stick #1 in this slot.
4. If you find a stick that passes the test, test it in all the other motherboard slots.

If Part 2 testing shows errors, and all tests in Part 3 show errors, you will need to test the RAM sticks in another computer and/or test other RAM in your computer to identify the problem.

In this way, you can identify whether it is a bad stick of RAM, a bad motherboard, or incompatibility between the sticks.

Errors are sometimes found after 8 passes.
Do this test overnight, before going to bed.

i cant boot to windows anymore.. It all started when i tried to boot into safemode by going to msconfig and checking safe mode.. When doing so system prompt me to remove something which i cant remember in order to checked boot safemode.

A:BSOD 'Bad Pool Caller' Issue

Is it the same computer under discussion in BSOD 0X000000c2 During Video Exit?

I'm writing this on my old computer as this problem has my windows XP 2nd edition computer shut down.

I have been searching the web everywhere trying to figure this out, but I don't understand anything so far.

This BAD_POOL_CALLER says to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. I have not done anything new. I was running an update to my AVG virus program and when I came back to the computer, this blue screen was there.

Technical information :

***STOP: 0x000000C2 (0x00000050, 0xE1EEA000, 0x00000EEA, 0x0A800000)

In the event viewer these 2 things were issues when it happened:DCOM -Event 10005Service Control Manager - Event 7026 and 7001

I don't know what to do with any of this information. I can't log into the internet or anything, just safe mode. I also did system restore and that didn't help with anything.

Recently I was using the computer when the light went out and there was a problem with the UPS, so the computer got switched off without properly shutting down. After restart the auto scandisk reported that several files were improperly linked and it resolved them by copying. Then I reached the BSOD with the following error:

BAD_POOL_CALLER

0x000000c2 (0x00000043, 0xD6070000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

Everytime I restart it gets to the same Error & I can't get into Windows though I can use the 'Safe mode with Networking'

When I use my laptop for a while, I would sometimes get a blue screen that says bad pool caller. This has happened a couple of times usually after something that uses alot of cpu, like using spybot S&D. What should I do?

Hi!I'm having for a while a BSOD Bad pool caller. All the drivers and software in my OS are up to date. I don't think it's a memory problem, the Windows Memory Diagnostic gave me no errors, I also tried the SFC /SCANNOW to try fixing the file systems, and also chkdsk /r to check and the disk integrity, but everything seems cool. I did all types of virus/malware scans with mcafee and malwarebytes, my system still seems clean.I'm using a ACER Aspire E5 - 511 - P29D: Intel Pentium quad core processor N3540.It doesn't happen at a particular moment, I can be browsing on the Internet or watching a movie. And it's not frequent, it happens every 3 or 4 days. It started 6, 7 weeks ago, after I did a upgrade to Windows 10. I haven't made any change to my computer yet.

To remove drivers, do so by uninstalling the device or software associated with the driver. Devices can be uninstalled through device manager, and then the device itself should be physically removed from the system if possible.

3rd Party Drivers: The following is for information purposes only. My recommendations were given above. The drivers that follow belong to software or devices that were not developed by Microsoft. Any drivers in red should be updated/replaced/removed. You can find links to the driver information and where to update the drivers in the section after the code box:

I've been experiencing BSOD for the past two weeks or so. I've tried to remedy the situation myself using suggestions from other threads on this website or other websites to no avail.

Hey,

If you could post the entire BSOD error code, hexadecimal included, and that would help us out tremendously. In order to run particular programs, you'll need Wine. However, Linux can read most Windows files, but not all.

Hey! When starting up my computer, I get to the point where I have to press ctrl-alt-del and input my username and password. It says "loading your personal settings" then goes straight to a BSOD. I took a screen shot the old fashioned way, see attached.

I don't know what triggered this - Only thing I did yesterday was install Spore and upgrade it to version 1.03. No new hardware, no upgraded drivers, nothing like that. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!

History
I turned on my PC, and it came up in safe mode?
I did a system restore to a previous day that it was used and working normal.
After this the video would not come on, it goes thru the boot sequence, up to just showing the startup screen for WIN XP and then goes black and won't come on.
I used my XP install disc to do a Repair. Now at the same point a BSOD comes up stating a Bad Pool Caller, then it reboots and keeps cycling thru this same sequence. I can't get to the point of launching safe mode.

Is there another OS or software that I can boot-up with to get to the windows folders and download anything needed before re-installing Win XP?

A:Bad Pool Caller, BSOD in loop

This is usually a problem with your RAM chips. Take all but one chip out and make a boot CD of Memtest and test each stick one at a time. You can also take the HDD out of the computer and put it on a USB adapter and plug that into another computer to backup the files

I got the BSOD BAD_POOL_CALLER almost every time I turn on my laptop.
Whenever this happen I forced shutdown by pushing the on/off button and it boots ok at second try...until today! This time I had to try three times to make my laptop work so now I really need to fix it. PLEASE help!
I tried "restore" but it didn't work
I attached the zip file as instructed.

A:BSOD Problem. Bad Pool Caller. Help!

I didn't find anything conclusive in the bsod log but I'm not very savvy with WinDbg. You might want to try to uninstall Bitdefender and run a test on your RAM (using Memtest86+) if the problem persists.

I have been getting BSOD's since yesterday with the Bad Pool Caller error message.
It seems to happen when I download, but I might be imagining things.
At first it happened when using Megaupload download manager, but it just happened again while downloading normally through Google chrome and after uninstalling said download manager.

I have also tried running the PC on the original 1 GB of Ram by removing the additional one installed on the netbook. Without success, obviously.

I am using a MSi wind u100 netbook, windows 7 home premium 32 bit.

Since I really have no clue on how to use or interpret these error dumps, I hope that somebody can have a look and hopefully tell me what is going wrong.

A:BSOD-Bad Pool Caller in Vista!!!!

I forgot to mention in my previous post that the BSOD comes anytime...may it'll come right now or maybe it won't.but it happens quite frequently

Hello guys ,my laptop produce BSOD for several times , restarting my pc, there was 2 different error messages the one i get the most is " BAD POOL CALLER" and "SYSTEM THREAD EXPEPTION NOT HANDELD" and ,, please i need some help about this....

Hello! I have an ASUS D550CA-RS31 Notebook. I used to get frequent BSODs related to BAD_POOL_CALLER a month or so back, and after looking into it updated some network drivers, which I believed fixed the problem. However, the BSODs have started popping up again in the past week related to netio.sys.

I believe it may still be related to network drivers, because most of the BSODs occur while I'm using campus wi-fi. However, I've updated the drivers from the manufacturer's website multiple times at this point.

If you could provide any information and suggestions on what to do from here, that would be much appreciated. Thank you!

A:BSOD - Bad Pool Caller, netio.sys

You are having troubles with network drivers and Intel Storage drivers.

On Feb 15 Driver Verifier blamed netr28x.sys (a driver for your Ralink RT2860 series Wireless LAN card)Have you removed the old version and installed a freshly downloaded copy of the latest, Win8.1 compatible version since then?(the same driver date is present in both the 15 Feb and the 17 Mar BSOD's)

Please visit the Asus website for your model ( ASUSTeK Computer Inc. -Support- Drivers and Download D550CA )Please update the Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver (it's in the "Others" section)While you're there, check to see what other drivers need updating (when in doubt, update them anyway).I'm particularly concerned about the ATK0101 and the Asus Charger drivers - as both are very old and may not be compatible w/Win8.1 (don't uninstall the ATK0101 driver, but uninstall the Asus Charger program if you can't find an update).

Whle it's possible that there is a hardware problem with the wireless card, the tests for that are to disable the wireless card and also to remove the wireless card. Do you have a place where you can use a wired connection (if you disable the wireless)?

I have been getting BSOD and occasional crash/restarts (with no BSOD) for at least a few months now. The exact cause of this is something I have no luck pinning down since very little on my computer has changed hardware wise and according to the device manager all my drivers are up to date :/

I have also noticed that my computer tends to quite sluggish when it reboots after such a crash has occurred. Since I am little clue how to read the minidump files, I have followed the forum instructions and uploaded a zip file with all the information gather by the SF tool contained within it.

Okay I give up I ve looked around for last few weeks and I haven t found anything that really explains a solution to my problem Normally my system is fine but when I launch Steam by Valve things get strange Steam by its self runs alright but whenever I attempt to get it to do anything install a game launch CSS HL or any of the Half life games steams starts using of my system resources The remaining percentage if there is any is taken BSoD CALLER Windows POOL BAD 7 up by the idle process Usually I can manage to end the task using Task manager Windows 7 BAD POOL CALLER BSoD however if steam is launched again I usually incur a BSOD with a BAD POOL CALLER as the header Is there anything I can do other than formatting and starting from scratch Things I have done so far Updated video drivers Updated windows with patches security fixes Updated NET framework to FULL Uninstalled Steam before reinstalling Uninstalled Unnecessary programs Attempted running steam in compatibility mode things seemed okay for a little while but the BSoD happened again Things I am doing Running a full system scan McAfee Total Protection - Fully Updated Waiting for the system scan to end before recreating the BSoD so I can give the attached error codes --------------- I have GB of RAM a dual core Intel Extreme CPU X GHz non integrated graphics It s a gaming computer Until now I have had no problems with it I am at a loss for other ideas any pointers would be welcome Thanks Brennan VanderLaan nbsp

I am facing random BSODs since few months. Now they have become more frequent. I tried to use driver Verifier but I couldn't boot after that. I have attached my dump files which i retrieved using SF tool. Please analyse it.PS.: I think it is due to some issue with WiFi driver as it BSODs sometimes when I start WiFi or open utorrent. I tried refreshing PC and updating Drivers but it didn't help.

Any help would be appreciated.

A:Random BSOD bad pool caller

Uninstall Connectify - the version that you are using (cnnctfy2.sys) may have known BSOD issues, it dates from 2011 (before Win8.1 was released) and it was blamed in the latest Driver Verifier enabled memory dump.

The previous memory dump has traces of Kaspersky all over it (but is not directly blamed). So, I looked at your 3rd party drivers and I also found traces of McAfee installed. Only use 1 antivirus and one firewall at a time. They can conflict with each other and cause problems (to include BSOD's).

I suggest uninstalling both Kaspersky and McAfee and seeing if that helps.Use Windows Defender and the Windows Firewall while testing.Once the testing is done, feel free to reinstall one (and only one) of the security protection products (Kaspersky or M that you were using. Make sure to get the latest, Win8.1 compatible version from the developer's website.

Hey, 2 days ago I got my first BSOD in a long time and I didn't think much of it but now I've been getting more and I'm not sure why.

It was running fine last week and since then I've gotten a new keyboard (Roccat Isku FX) and installed the driver/software for it and a bluetooth dongle (Asus USB-BT400), both have been working without any problems, I did try unplugging both though.

The first BSOD occurred after I postponed a restart for windows update which then installed when I started the computer again after the crash.

Hi, I have been getting the BSOD Bad Pool Caller when I start up my laptop. First I tried updating some drives, but that didn't fix the problem so I system restored my laptop. Afterwards I reinstalled some apps back in such as AVG and League of Legends. I didn't get the BSOD the first few times I shut off my laptop then it just came back. Can anyone help me find the solution to this please? Thanks in advance.

This is just another notification I got after rebooting in safe mode if it helps.

I've been having random BSOD everytime i start up the computer. It will bluescreen and begin to physical memory dump. And when i start booting up the second time, and select start window normally, i can boot to window like normal.

I am really having trouble with this BSOD error. My audio is broken afterward and everything is out of whack. Audio services are disablee and so far I don't have any way to enable them... What is causing this and what should I do?

Welcome,Has your system been working correctly? What were you doing when it quit? Are your OS and security program up to date? Have you run any scans? What were the results? Is this a desktop or a laptop?Thanks

Hi to everyone,my problem is a bit strange, I think. Sometimes it happens that while watching some youtube videos or even while being stuck in the desktop it goes to BSOD with a bad pool caller. I do not know what application could write where it shouldn't.I'll upload log captured by this forum tool.Thank you for your help. Really.

Hi TheDeveloper01 & Welcome to the forums ^_^,

I have analysed your dump files and below has been provided an analysis of the same for informative purposes :-BAD_POOL_CALLER (c2)The current thread is making a bad pool request. Typically this is at a bad IRQL level or double freeing the same allocation, etc.

How To Find Drivers:

Quote:
- search Google for the name of the driver- compare the Google results with what's installed on your system to figure out which device/program it belongs to- visit the web site of the manufacturer of the hardware/program to get the latest drivers (DON'T use Windows Update or the Update driver function of Device Manager).- if there are difficulties in locating them, post back with questions and someone will try and help you locate the appropriate program.

Hi, you need Windbg to read minidumps. You can get it from the Microsoft website. All of your minidumps point to ATIKMDAG.SYS which is a a video driver file for Radeon/Nvidia.

You can use this software tool to remove the old driver and install the latest Nvidia driver.

Hi, I get the bad pool caller error every time i open something like youtube. Sorry for the lack of information but thats all i know.

Hi Vallras & Welcome to the forums ^_^,

I have analysed your dump files and below has been provided an analysis of the same for informative purposes :-BAD_POOL_CALLER (c2)The current thread is making a bad pool request. Typically this is at a bad IRQL level or double freeing the same allocation, etc. I checked the Pool using !pool but did not find anything. Let's see if our beloved stack finds something -

So, the problem was that the Wireless driver freed a Net Buffer List which in turn freed a pool which was already freed. That caused the Windows to crash the system. The driver highlighted in RED is the YAC (Yet Another Cleaner) Rogueware which is causing the problem. This program is an Adware which is bundled with various other software. I would suggest you to uninstall this software ASAP.

I started getting some BSOD errors after updating to Windows 10 from 8.1. Windows 10 updated a couple months ago, and since that update I get bad pool header crashes multiple times a day. I used the DM log collector and attached the file. Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

Need help...i get the BSOD-bad pool header ONLY when I try to open AOL. Started this about a month ago. I can reboot the computer and everything runs normally. Never have an issue when i open anything else. I can log onto AOL through Mozzilla or Internet Explorer but not by trying to open the progam by itself. I did a registry cleaner and defrag with UNIBLUE, and did the normal scans with other "fixers" but problem continues. I have Widows Vista on a HP Laptop. Thanks in advance for any help.

I've tested the memory with memtest86, uninstalled recently installed software and updated my drivers with driver reviver. these were the recommendations on other forums and i'm unsure what else i can do to try and fix this.

Hey and thanks for any help here. My buddy bought this laptop about 5 days ago and has had a couple of blue screens since. It was bought used but it does have its windows7 serial key sticker. I have tested the RAM with windows memory diagnostics.. and the have run sfc /scannow.. and the software "hard drive inspector" shows the hard drive is working properly.

Is Windows 7 . . . - x86 (32-bit) or x64 ? 64 bit - the original installed OS on the system? Vista home premium - an OEM or full retail version? OEM then installed win 7 retail - What is the age of system (hardware)? 3 years - What is the age of OS installation (have you re-installed the OS?) 2 years
